It is said that Dallas is where the south ends and Fort Worth is where the west begins. Regardless of what part of the Metroplex you are in, there will be a wide array of activities for you to enjoy.

The Metroplex offers year round outdoor activities such as golf, tennis, biking, hiking, sailing, ballooning and any other outdoor leisure activity you desire, since we have sunshine every month, 288 days per year.

Not only is the Metroplex home to Fortune 500 corporations due to the dynamic business climate, but you will find respected museums, symphonies, fabulous shopping, more restaurants per capita than any other city in the nation, and multiple transportation centers such as DFW International Airport, the world’s second busiest airport.

Sports? Enough said! We have five-time Super Bowl Champions, the Dallas Cowboys, Dallas Sidekicks, Stanley cup Champions, The Dallas Stars, Texas Rangers, Dallas Mavericks, NASCAR racing at Texas Motor Speedway, Championship Rodeo, and the first Class I Horse racing track in North Texas – Lone Star Park. Springtime brings Virginia Slims Tournament and the Byron Nelson Classic golf tournament in Las Colinas as well as the Colonial Golf Classic.

Whether you are downtown, uptown, or in town enjoying the nightlife of Deep Ellum or the West End Market Center, shopping at Macy’s, Nordstrom’s, Dillard’s, Sak’s Fifth Avenue, or having a backyard Bar-b-que, welcome to Texas “The Friendship State” and know that you are truly enjoying life in the Dallas/Fort Worth area.
